When the Larue sisters - Lucy- 14, Lana - 13, and Lillian - 8, move from their Florida beach town to the steel city, Pittsburgh, they are anything but thrilled. Soon after moving, the girls are met with rumors that their house is haunted, but when Lana leads an investigation to discover the source of the creepy sounds in their shared attic bedroom, they discover no ghost. Instead, the three girls are sucked inside a portal that leads to another world - Zo. There they meet Tabupu - head cosmetologist and keeper of the scrolls, who claims to know not only the reason they are in Zo but also the only way to get out.Tabupu reveals that during past crises, the Larue girls' late Aunt Lucy traveled to Zo and was named honorary royal aid because of the work she performed on the planet. Now it is her nieces' turn to do their part, to fulfill the scrolls' prophecies and save Zo. Its two social castes are involved in a feud affecting the ecosystem of the planet. The Claypoles have been bullying the Edens so harshly that many Edens have chosen to bury themselves in the Down Deep in an optional sleep from which they can never return to wakefulness on their own. Because each Zoan soul has unique purpose in the survival of the planet, Zo itself is beginning to whither. The Larue girls are the only ones who can wake up the sleeping Edens and return peace to Zo. To complicate matters, the portal that brought the Larue sisters to Zo is broken, and the only repairman on the planet is an Eden named Niko... who just happens to be buried in the Down Deep. Without Niko, the girls are stuck in Zo indefinitely. Will the sisters stretch beyond their fears to save a world that's not their own? Will they ever make it back home?
